Default RE: Bowhunting Turkey Tips,

To go along with #8 if you've got a gobbler really fired up and gobbing his head off, shut up. He will come to find you. As tempting as it is to hear him gobble if you overcall he'll think the hen is really hot and expect her to come to him.
I like this. IMO....you have to know when to shut up.

Hunting turkeys with a bow is a LOT different than hunting them with a gun. You have COMMITTED to being "passive". I like to call "just" enough to let them know I'm there. IMO....that's about all you can do.

Also.....when it's windy......get out of the woods.

When in the woods......using a decoy isn't always the best idea.
